FISH SIZE VS FOOD

Dawn 12/09/09
Title: is How Fish Size affects Food intake
Purpose: too see if the size of the fish makes a difference in how much food they consume.
Definition: the purpose basically explains it.
Hypothesis: is that if the fish are bigger, then they will consume more food because they are growing constantly and need more food for their muscles.
Control Variables:
Independent-food
Dependent-Growth Rate
Pages these can be tracked are: http://tcatrout.wikispaces.com/Background at Minji’s section for food. and http://tcatrout.wikispaces.com/Background under Alyssia's section, Growth.
….fish size is currently 2 cm.
Procedure: I record the fish size and food amount given everyday and compare results.
Data Table: Again, http://tcatrout.wikispaces.com/Background under Minji’s section for Food and Growth Rate is semi- recorded at http://tcatrout.wikispaces.com/Background under Alyssia's section Growth
